This looks like a day count - how many days ellapsed since a specified date. Some spreadsheets, including Excel, store dates in this format.
? {^2004-12-28} - {^1899-12-30}Gives the number of days you indicated. See if you get consistent results with other dates (always using the same date, 30-dec-1899, in the subtraction).
